We were having a chat with Athanasios Polychronopoulos when he casually called 1,400 from a guy who pushed all in preflop. Polychronopoulos woke up with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} and had his opponent deeply in trouble with {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Just like that Polychronopoulos easily knocked out another opponent.

Polychronopoulos is on a tear and already won a $1,500 not but a few weeks ago. With 12,600 already today it must be nice to be Mr. Athanasios Polycronopoulos.
